How ‘Bazaar’

Back in February, I read a post by Adrenaline about Motocross in Kuwait. After a couple of attempts and finally getting the date and location right, I was there for the final race of last season. I manged to take quite a few photographs on the day, and I posted about it late March. I sent the post and photographs to Bazaar magazine, who answered me on the same day expressing interest. I then had a brief meeting with the organisors to make sure they were happy with my plan, and I wrote a small piece as requested by Bazaar.

They agreed to publish it and will pay me 20KD for it. In your comments, please recommend favourite charities and I will donate it to one of them. The article is in this month’s issue. In the printed world, this is my first ever published ‘work’ both as a photograph and a written piece. Here is a link to the article online. I hope it makes you smile.

That’s a nicely written article. You consider publishing more!
Hmmm, and in terms of charity work … I would say either Operation Hope: http://www.operationhopekuwait.com/
for their serious work to help the laborers

@ onlooker
Thanks 🙂 – yes it’s a strange feeling. One many people are presumably immune to. I remember when it was a HUGE deal to get a comment on a blog post. I still appreciate the conversations – but am no longer surprised! Bad!

@ Adrenaline

More pleased that a photograph of mine is in print – more exciting than the article itself.

Your first published work! Wow, how exciting! Congratulations!!! I don’t know what charity to suggest because I am in the US, but I just wanted to congratulate you. Your first published work in a magazine is a very special thing and a very proud moment.
